Mr. Hubert Fitzpatrick:

The non-compliant end of the construction industry is hampering those compliant members who want to deliver a service into the future. Our industry has fallen so low that we must ask if we will be in a position to provide for the future needs of the country and if we, as an industry, can cater for the needs of the foreign direct investment companies that want major premises built to high standards in the coming years. We would like to see all those matters addressed in order to enable the industry to revive and get back to a level that would be sustainable. We believe the industry should be creating 10% to 12% of GDP rather than the current low level at which it is operating.
